Water breaks down to form hydrogen and oxygen when electricity is passed through it. Water is a bad conductor of electricity, so it is mixed with sulphuric acid or caustic soda to make it a good conductor of electricity.

What is an acid called if it contains more quantity of water?
Its typically called "Dilluted", example, "Sulphuric Acid" often used as "Dilluted Sulphuric Acid" in car batteries.
What are the uses of sulfur trioxide?
Its primary use is in the Contact Process (making Sulphuric Acid). This can be done directly by reacting Sulphur Trioxide with Water to form dilute, but highly corrosive, Sulphuric Acid: SO3(g) + H2O(l) = H2SO4(aq) It can also be achieved indirectly by adding Sulphur Trioxide to Sulphuric Acid to form Disulphuric Acid (Pyrosulphuric Acid, Fuming Sulphuric Acid or Oleum) then Reacting Disulphuric Acid with Water to Form Concentrated Sulphuric Acid: SO3(g) + H2SO4(l) = H2S207(l) H2S2O7(l) + H20(l) = 2H2SO4(l)
What chemicals are used in the extraction of copper?

How is oxygen produced commercially?
Various methods have been used for the large scale production of oxygen, but at present the two mostly used are the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of dilute sulphuric acid, and the fractional distillation of Liquid Air.
